Integrative Meridian Therapy (IMT) is a form of bodywork that seeks to balance the human body as a whole organism rather than working with independent systems within the body in a compartmentalized way. For decades students have been limited to individual certifications that compartmentalizes the body. IMT changes this dynamic and combines multiple systems to treat the whole person. IMT utilizes specific compression, traction, and touch techniques to facilitate release and integration in the bodies foundational systems. IMT uses postural balancing, myoskeletal stabilization, lymphatics, fascial connective tissue, the endocrine system, the central nervous system, reflex arcs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, meridians, the energetic system and the deeper emotional base of hidden core patterns in a very specific and unique form. IMT incorporates nutrition, exercise, herbalism, homeopathy and rare healing practices as part of the modality to help the entire person. By balancing the human body through specific intentional catalysts which engages the whole organism rather than independent systems within the body, IMT encourages comprehensive relief through relaxation, acute/chronic injury rehabilitation, somatic integration, relief from pain, PTSD recovery, emotional balance and overall body awareness. Integrative Meridian Therapy (IMT) utilizes multiple systems of thought in its form by combining the Japanese meridian system, Chinese acupressure system, Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflex Points, postural balancing, myoskeletal stabilization and individualized release techniques for the lymph, fascia and connective tissue systems. Because of its traditional emphasis on the meridian systems, IMT also attempts to balance the emotional centers of the body affecting the conscious and subconscious mind.

Integrative Meridian Therapy Full Class Descriptions
Core Module I – Expressions of the Human Experience (24 clock hours - $360.00)
This course will discuss issues that face the bodywork practice as a whole. Because of the inherent nature of bodywork many of these issues are different than in other industries and are issue specific. Course material will be presented in both an interactive and experiential way so students can fully experience the various subjects somatically. Topics will be ethics, anthropology, communication, psychological and emotional issues. Ethics will include: discussions around scope of practice, personal agendas, behavior toward other practitioners and appropriate boundaries. The basis of anthropological theory will help students uncover their own paradigms and how people naturally project their paradigms onto others. It will help students shift from using their own paradigms to practicing empathy. Interpersonal communication will also be covered in this Module. As a bodywork practitioner, adopting a sense of neutrality can best help your client. This goes further into the bodywork as well. Students will learn to work and release the Myofascial system while gaining great understanding in this class how fascia both unwinds and communicates with it's own physiological and somatic communication relays. Students will learn what body language can tell them about a client and how to best approach a client without crossing boundaries. This course will also offer ideas on how the student as an individual communicates to others through their own body language as well as how the body communicates with them. The last topic covered will be psychological & emotional issues. Students will evaluate their own personal psychological personality, learn the different classic psychological personalities and role play different scenarios including: how to deal with anger, frustration, love, emotional attachments, transference, and counter-transference. A strong emphasis on self-care is practiced. Pre-requisites: None |
Core Module II – Sensitivity to the Human Body (24 clock hours - $360.00)
In this module students will explore their sensitivity to touch, energetic messages, and receptivity of and to the body’s own special language. When students understand how they receive messages from other people they can in turn respond to another person’s verbal, energetic, postural, and somatic cues through intuition, visual structural imbalances and direct communication. This module’s goal is to open up the student’s senses as well as their cognitive skills and allow them to integrate these two dynamic sides of the brain. Strong emphasis is placed on self-care and somatic awareness in the students themselves. Pre-requisites: None Core Module III – Strengthening The Core (24 clock hours - $360.00)
This module will incorporate physical, energetic, and somatic isometrics, isotonics, and integration techniques. It will describe theory, history, and terminology as well as show hands-on technique. Students will learn how and when to properly utilize isometrics, isotonics and integration work within the body. This module will also provide critical integration techniques for working with the body along the meridian pathways, movement techniques, movement integration, how to follow the body both energetically & physically for a fuller release and appropriate tissue unwinding. Much discussion will be given on how isometrics work within the central nervous system and the anatomy of the meridian system as it relates to joint sinews. Specific pathologies covered will be pelvic bowl dysfunction, incontinence, sciatica, hip problems, pain within joints & scoliosis. Strong emphasis is placed on self-care and somatic awareness in the students themselves. Prerequisite(s): None |
|
Core Module IV – Essential Understanding: Trauma (24 clock hours - $360.00)
Any form of bodywork can trigger people’s emotional issues. This module seeks to give hands-on techniques to students which will allow them to deal effectively when this problem arises. This module’s emphasis is how to work with people who are accidentally triggered in a bodywork session. Students will learn proper boundaries in working with emotional issues as well as how to recognize cues when a client is triggered. It will also give students the fundamentals of how to talk with clients about being triggered and how to help clients recover from being triggered in as non-invasive a manner as possible. Techniques covered will be breathing, proximity exercises, energetic/spatial distancing, foot/hand techniques, and a number of other bodywork techniques that work with diminishing the intensity of triggers. The students of this class will learn to recognize their own triggers as well and what to do for themselves. This module is not a replacement for advanced trauma classes, nor will it teach students how to work with and resolve trauma at a deeper level. A strong emphasis on self-care and working through triggers is practiced. Pre-requisites: None. |
Core Module V – Western Science (50 clock hours – test out/credit is free or $360.00 per 25 hour segment)
This module seeks to present the human body as a dynamic living organism.

History of energetics, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, iridology will be included in this exciting class as we discover what eastern philosophers have been practicing for thousands of years. A deeper understanding of the energetic field of the meridian system and how we translate those messages back and forth from practitioner to client as expressed thought is taught. A strong emphasis on self-care is also taught. Pre-requisites: Meridian Module I & II or Permission of Instructor. Meridian Module VI – Additional Requirements – 402 hours Through continuous practice, students gain familiarity and experience in practicing bodywork and other skills necessary to be an independent practitioner. Specific Course Objective: The objective of this module is to give students more confidence in practicing their skills through tutorials, one on one practice, group participation, and direct experience. Pre-requisites: Varies - students will be given a timeline of when to start. 24 hrs of electives: Students must complete 24 hours of offered electives through the elective curriculum of the school. Students may opt to take a class from the Somatic Trauma Release Program as long as all pre-requisites are met. Pre-requisites: See individual electives and STR program courses or Permission of Instructor. Tutorials – 4 hours Tutorials may be on an individual level with an instructor or with a group of not more than 3 students. It is suggested that a 3 hour tutorial be split amongst three students, however, the student will receive all three hours of tutorial credit even though they are sharing those hours. Tutorials are comprised of a question and answer format where students get their individual questions met that perhaps are not appropriate to bring up in a class setting. Students are encouraged to identify where they are having difficulty and work directly on those issues during tutorial times. Tutorials can be the difference between realizing that there is a difficulty and actually overcoming the dynamics that are creating it. Sessions Given – 190 hours Students are required to give 190 sessions to the general public or other students. Students are not allowed to charge money for these services or infer that they are a practitioner. Sessions Rec’d – 20 hours Students are required to receive 20 sessions of Integrative Meridian Therapy. Five (5) of the twenty (20) sessions must be received by a professional therapist that the school authorizes. A list will be made available to the students of authorized professionals. Professional fees range from $20.00 - $60.00 per session. Student Practice Groups – 92 hours (out of state and distance students may take this as correspondence with Permission of Instructor.) Students must participate in practice groups between classes. Practice Groups are comprised of students practicing class materials on each other as additional experience. These practice groups are two- three hours in length depending on Discussion Group scheduling which will follow for one hour. A format will be given by the supervising instructor on how to set goals, follow through with work and properly design a therapy protocol when working with other students. Discussion Groups – 22 hours –might be combined with study groups. (out of state and distance students may take this as correspondence with Permission of Instructor.) Group Discussions are an important part of the development of self-awareness and overall well-being amongst the students and in the class in general. This format provides a safe environment for students to discuss issues that are pertinent to their own experiences and growth throughout the program. It can also be used as a format to discuss group dynamics within the class themselves and learn from the experience. Students will meet for one hour with a qualified mediator Business Applications Externship – 50 hours (test out/credit by Permission of Instructor.) This is an extension of the Business Skills class. However, students will apply their knowledge to real life situations. In the first phase they will begin learning the ins & outs of business by learning from existing business applications. In the second phase of this externship students will start venturing out on their own. They will request press release kits from various publications, write press releases, write a newsletter, and find niche groups which they would market to through those avenues. Students will also structure a written dialog in order to discuss bodywork with other health care professionals and a dialog to discuss bodywork with potential and existing clients. Developing a network is critical to a business and students will develop networking skills by contacting adjunctive health agencies such as non-profits, private counseling centers or therapists to introduce themselves as students. The final phase will be to introduce, find a location, schedule, and perform a supervised lecture and demonstration of the work to a group of 4 or more people. Students will also venture into the world of sales & marketing by creating their own letterhead, business cards, and brochures. (So as not to replicate or overburden existing agencies in the community, a list of already contacted agencies, groups, and publications will be kept on file. Students must seek additional resources outside this list. Agencies, publications, and groups will not be contacted more than one time in a three year period.) |
Meridian Module IV– Channel Point Work (168 clock hours - $360.00 per 24 hour segment)

Students also learn color light therapy techniques to use. MIT has begun researching light therapies and shown them to be efficacious. Students go from a beginner’s touch to a much greater level of sensitivity by being able to track more than one system at a time. This course provides the attention to detail in order to allow the student to feel the body’s tissues unwind, the energetic rhythms of the meridian system/acupressure points as it flows through the body, and the subtle joint movements as sinews are freed. This attention to sensitivity creates a holistic understanding of the specific points, the meridian field, and finding a deeper understanding to the body’s subtle messages. A strong emphasis on self-care is included in this module along with more meridian channel anatomy. Different theories and philosophies will be explored such as Yin/yang, 8 principles, 5 element theory and what the energy channels govern are all covered in this dynamic course offering. Students will also learn how to work with meridian imbalances and their specific role per the individual. Abdominal assessment will be utilized in working with the meridians. However, intuitive assessment by energetic feel will also come into play. Individual courses in this module will cover two meridians at a time. Again, strong emphasis in self-care is taught. Pre-requisites: 24 hours each of MMI, II, III or Permission of the Instructor.

Areas which need to be addressed on the evaluation form must be improved on subsequent evaluation sessions or an additional evaluation session will be required. Additional evaluation sessions are at the student’s expense. Fees range from $20.00 - $60.00 per hour. 3 Testing Sessions – 3 hrs Testing sessions are to be given to students by authorized persons for written grade. These testing sessions will identify students’ weaknesses and strengths. Written & verbal feedback is given to the student so they might improve on the next testing session. Testing sessions will be graded by the instructors overseeing testing sessions. Testing sessions must be completed by the end of the certification program. Also, student weaknesses that are identified on the first testing session must be improved on subsequent testing sessions in order to have a passing grade. Final Review – 4 hours Final review is a series of informal meetings where students and an authorized instructor will review for final verbal and written examinations and hands-on practicum. Final Examination – 6 hours Module VII is the final module prior to graduation. Students will be tested by both verbal and written examination. A final hands-on practicum will also be given during the final testing weekend. Students’ weaknesses that are identified on the 3 initial testing sessions must be improved on the final practicum in order to pass. A student receiving a non-passing grade will be given instruction on what they need to improve and will be able to take the practicum over a second time. |
